The Phenomenon of Quiet Quitting in Montenegrin Organizations

Abstract

This study analyzes key indicators related to the phenomenon of "quiet quitting" among employees in Montenegro. The focus is placed on factors such as dissatisfaction with working conditions, lack of motivation, issues of organizational justice, poor leadership style and the sense of belonging within the organization. Data collected through the research reveal significant differences between two age groups of employees (22–30 and 31–45 years). The results show that the younger age group expresses a higher level of dissatisfaction and lack of motivation, while the older group demonstrates a stronger sense of organizational belonging. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the internal factors influencing the phenomenon of "quiet quitting" in the Montenegrin work environment and offer guidance for developing more effective human resource management strategies.
